Population Genomics of a Rare and a Common Wood–Inhabiting Fungal Species Across EuropeNARA Subscribed
Many species have become threatened during the Anthropocene, requiring conservation strategies based on biological evidence. Wood‐inhabiting fungi face multiple threats due to a complex interplay of a short lifespan, removal of dead wood as a resource and climate change. Furthermore, rare fruiting events might restrict dispersal via spores, leading to a significant population genetic structure. Yet, little is known about the g...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Spatial and developmental synthesis of endogenous sesquiterpene lactones supports function in growth regulation of sunflowerNARA Subscribed
Main conclusion Tissue-specific occurrence and formation of endogenous sesquiterpene lactones has been assessed and suggests physiological function as antagonists of auxin-induced plant growth in sunflower. Abstract Sunflower, Helianthus annuus , accumulate high concentrations of bioactive sesquiterpene lactones (STL) in glandular trichomes, but in addition, structurally different STL occur in only trace amounts in the inner t...
100‐year‐old enigma solved: identification, genomic characterization and biogeography of the yet uncultured Planctomyces bekefiiNARA Subscribed
Summary The first representative of the phylum Planctomycetes , Planctomyces bekefii , was described nearly one century ago. This morphologically conspicuous freshwater bacterium is a rare example of as‐yet‐uncultivated prokaryotes with validly published names and unknown identity. We report the results of molecular identification of this elusive bacterium, which was detected in a eutrophic boreal lake in Northern Russia. By u...
Summary Combining omics and enzymatic approaches, catabolic routes of nine selected amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, histidine, lysine and threonine) were elucidated in substrate‐adapted cells of P haeobacter inhibens DSM 17395 (displaying conspicuous morphotypes). The catabolic network [excluding tricarboxylic acid ( TCA ) cycle] was reconstructed from 71 genes (scattered across...
Leaf traits capture the effects of land use changes and climate on litter decomposability of grasslands across EuropeNARA Subscribed
Land use and climate changes induce shifts in plant functional diversity and community structure, thereby modifying ecosystem processes. This is particularly true for litter decomposition, an essential process in the biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients. In this study, we asked whether changes in functional traits of living leaves in response to changes in land use and climate were related to rates of litter potential...
